Unhappy Engine trouble! Help!

Hey guys, My car just did something really weird. I hope there's nothing seriously wrong with it... Anyways, I hop in my car to go to the gym. I check my Apexi Neo and its reading 2.3% throttle signal. So im like ok, I'll just redo my throttle input into the control. Did full closed throttle hit ok, Then did full open throttle hit ok. I then proceeded to start my car. It turned over then immediately died, Tried it again and it turned over then died. I then hit initialize into my Neo and re input my Air/fuel numbers and it started right up! Now theres a CEL and vsc, and vsc off light. Is this something that i should be concerned about? What happened? Anyway to fix this? Should i restart my Ecu? Thanks for the help on this one guys, Im actually a little stressed out about this.....

I would suggest resetting ecu and then start from point A with the NEO, check for loose wires and did you clean the MAF yet, How did you hook up the neo? PnP harness or DIY way. LMK if you need the settings again, i have them saved.
